There are so many fun runs across Australia and the world now days, and as a result it has become a great way for charities to use them as ways to fundraise. The Women in Super Mother's Day Classic (MDC) is one of those - in aid of breast cancer research. I've run the MDC... Continue Reading →

I have been fortunate to not have been close to anyone who has suffered with breast cancer but I know people that have had their family or friends go through it. As a woman it scares me along with all the other cancers we are potentially at risk of. So the annual Mother's Day Classic... Continue Reading →

It's been another good week of training and I am feeling reasonably good. I have upped my weights work and am running a fair bit as well as my mixed cardio. It suddenly dawned on me today that this time next week I will have run the Mothers Day race in Brisbane. I entered the 4k... Continue Reading →

I finally got round to entering the Mother's Day Classic race in Brisbane today before the early bird prices stop. I've run it for the last few years and it's a great race. This year I'm doing the 4k rather than the 8k as I've been doing a lot of speed work to train for... Continue Reading →

I'm sat at home watching a documentary about three guys who challenged themselves to run across the whole of the Sahara. It's inspiring but hasn't inspired me to want to do the same! 7000 km + is a long way to run for 12 hours at a time in 140 degree ground temperature and eating... Continue Reading →

I was approached by the Mothers Day Classic Race a while ago and they asked if they could write an article about myself and the girls I run with as publicity for their race which is an awesome one, raising money for Breast Cancer. We had the photoshoot on Saturday which was great fun with... Continue Reading →
